Well the second week of Danica Patrick’s NASCAR debut ended abruptly with a destroyed race car. The race started off badly for Patrick when she narrowly avoided a crash and was shuffled to the back of the pack. Danica ran outside of the top 30 for a while before making it back into the 20’s. Patrick got caught up in a 12 car accident and her car was mangled. Danica remained optimistic though when she said, “It’s important to have realistic expectations. There’s going to be spikes in performance, I don’t doubt that. But there’s also going to be tough days. And today, I would say, was more of a tough day.” Even with the disappointment of a crash, Danica Patrick is bringing a renewed interest in NASCAR as she was horded by fans before and after the race. Dale Earnhardt Jr., who owns the car Patrick is racing had a very bad day as he crashed also. So now team JR Motorsports is left trying to build 2 new race cars. Danica Patrick is very good for NASCAR as she seems to be a

Formula One team Red Bull have unveiled their new car ahead of the opening grand prix in Bahrain in March.Driver Mark Webber took the new model, the RB6, out for a test drive at the Jerez Circuit on Wednesday (February 10th).According to the Australian, the new car is more of an evolution of last year’s model, rather than a total rebuild.”To be honest we finished last season with a first and a second, so we didn’t want to go to great lengths to design another car on the back of that or go too crazy,” Webber told the Associated Press.”I think there are a lot of subtle, small things that will hopefully make this car more successful than last year’s.”Changes to the car include a reworked front wing which incorporates a rear diffuser, shark fin engine cover and an increase in length to accommodate a larger fuel tank since re-fuelling during a race is banned this season.The first race of the 2010 Formula One season takes place at the Sakhir circuit in Bahrain on March 14th.

Vauxhall has issued these first official photos inside the new 2010 Meriva mini-MPV. By swinging open its suicide doors (FlexDoors, in GMspeak), we’re given our first peek inside ahead of the new Meriva’s Geneva motor show debut.It’s very Astra-like in here, with a horizontal, wraparound ‘wing’ section circling the dashboard and running into the door cards. And – at last – the chunky A-pillars on the previous Meriva have been slimmed down a little, removing some of the hideous blindspot that’s blighted the first-gen mini-MPV. Although we reserve judgment until we’ve driven the car ourselves.It’s much airier in the new Meriva, thanks to those bigger quarterlights, that panoramic sunroof and the kinked side windowline, dubbed a ‘wave’ windowline. Either that, or a designer’s pencil slipped while he was doodling the profile.It’s button central on that centre console!Yes, it does look rather button-heavy there. But we like the classy instrument pack that shares the Insignia/Astra-style

Source: Reuters1. I am not going to deny that in my time Proton was protected. All countries including Britain, Germany, Japan and Korea protect their car market. Britain had Imperial Preference, Japan and Korea ensured no foreign cars could be imported, even America insists on Japanese, Korean and Germans producing their cars in America, employing Americans and paying high salaries.2. The protection for Proton cars had been there all along. Without protection we would have no car industry. Proton gained 80 per cent of the market at one time benefiting from protectionism.3. Because of the APs (Approved Permits) for cars from countries which Proton cannot penetrate (Korea and Japan) sales of Proton went down. Proton lost money, the foreigners made a lot of money with the lower price of their cars sold in Malaysia. Their lower price is due to volume i.e. economies of scale. We could not achieve this because of their protected car market.4. Now Proton is fighting back despite imports of f

YOU know how, sometimes, you make an instant connection with someone you’ve just met? Well, I believe that can happen with cars, too.Source: WikipediaSometimes, you look at a car for the first time and you know that this is “the one”; just by feeling the sleek body and sitting in it before you even take it out on the road.The cute and rather cheeky looking Fiat 500!Of course, when you do eventually get around to doing that, the attraction might fade after an initial spin because of a less than perfect interior, perhaps, or because the car seems to “fight” you and leave you with the feeling that it just doesn’t want to be “friends”.And then there are those cars that might not impress at first sight, but then you gradually discover you actually do feel so comfortable in them and are such fun that you could keep driving for hours….Such is the feeling I get from my first time behind the wheel of the Fiat 500. Sure, at first sight I think, “Eh? Tiny car, wei. What can it

The prices of cars in Malaysia as opposed to our income is just mind-boggling.I am a auto enthusiast but have been forced to drive second-hand cars as like many Malaysians. I just cannot come to terms to pay such unrealistic prices for cars.In 1986, a Toyota Corrolla or Honda Civic only cost RM25,000 - RM28,000. In the early 1990s, the prices rose to RM50,000.By mid 1990s, it was about RM80,000 and by 2000 it had breached RM100,000. A 1.8 sedan now costs RM110,000.A similar car in Thailand is RM20,000 to RM250,000 cheaper.The increase of car prices in Malaysia over the past 25 years was caused mainly by the protectionist policy the government had towards the local automotive industry. But surely after 25 years, it is time to dismantle such policies and let the rakyat enjoy their hard-earned income.Can you imagine the impact to our economy if the prices of cars were to come down?.Haven’t we sacrificed enough for one man’s dream?The government also stands to gain more income via various
